A cross-layered slotted ALOHA protocol is proposed and analyzed for distributed estimation in sensor networks. Suppose that the sensors in the network record local measurements of ...
A key issue in clustering data, regardless the algorithm used, is the definition of a distance function. In the case of trajectory data, different distance functions have been pro...
Many tasks in computer vision involve assigning a label (such as disparity) to every pixel. These tasks can be formulated as energy minimization problems. In this paper, we conside...
We consider the problem of learning to rank relevant and novel documents so as to directly maximize a performance metric called Expected Global Utility (EGU), which has several de...
We describe how to teach deformable models to maximize image segmentation correctness based on user-specified criteria, and we present a method for evaluating which criteria work ...
